Sure.

I run Tumbleweed, but people are free to do their thing.

I think you’re confusing user interfaces and API structures there.

Also file systems don’t have to be in the kernel. User space file systems are a thing and work fine.

It’s an alpha, so I guess a number of things can still change.

You’re looking at and following your information bubble.

This is by design.

In that case you’re left with applications implementing it, and hoping for something homogeneous. Which may or may not happen.
I wouldn’t trust it.

It starts with a full screen window, no window controls… so sorry, it pretty much breaks the expected interface.

Folders, or directories, really, may not be worthwhile, but when you have more than fifteen files, they’re quite convenient.

Great, it breaks all the interface conventions. How convenient.

Have a great day?

Besides, Plasma can look like anything else anyway, so why switch?

Wait, would I have to actually do anything?

Twenty years ago, you’d run it every now and then because it was kind of fun. I’m not sure if it counts as actually using it though. There were actual window managers for that.

I’m not sure what the use case is nowadays, I’ll have to install it someday.

Yes, but why?

make && make install

Done.

Oh, ok, I thought it was the various ingredients. I zoomed in and finally figured out it was merely different shots of the same thing.

I don’t even understand what I’m looking at.

You can say even heroin on tv. You can even say hero without being accused of sexism.

If it’s your os drive that dies, nothing important has been lost except for a few minutes of work. You can boot from a variety of media (cd, usb…) for recovery, or drive replacement. Worst case, you’ll have to reinstall a few things in the following days.

It’s also why it’s not a bad idea to separate the various aspects of the system on distinct drives.

Is that dickbutt’s cousin?

The OS is the least important part of your computer.
